Aspinock Historical Society of Putnam

Founded in 1972 by a group of citizens who felt the need for its services, the organization for a number of years met in members' homes. Before long, many photos and other ephemera began piling up. When the GED Education building closed and was unoccupied, The Mayor and Board of Selectmen voted to lease it to the society, in perpetuity for $1.00 per year. The Aspinock Historical Society is now located in its new home at Suite 250, located in the Putnam Municipal Complex

The Research Center also doubles as a museum as members erect and display items of local and regional history. The center is open Tuesday -Thursday 10am - 2pm & the second and fourth Saturday, 10 am-Noon or by special arrangement. The archive committee handles many inquiries for information.

The Society has had a number of re-enactors and illustrated lectures on local and national history. Members have conducted many escorted tours.

Located at 200 School Street, Putnam, CT.
